| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy orange gold with a thin-moderate yellow-white head that faded to film after a quarter of the glass but left long-lasting lace all the way to the end. Very pleasant aroma of grapefruit and orange with a bit of sweet resinous pine in the nose as well. The flavor is caramel malt along with some slightly sweet resinous pine and some bitter grapefruit. About three or four seconds after the swallow some serious alcohol heat arises and lingers for a good fifteen seconds before finally subsiding. zdk (215), New York, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 28, 2009 On tap at the MBG Summer Festival. Poured amber with a light brown head. Strong hop smell like a wet forest or marijuana. Flavor is overly hopped and leads to a wet wood taste. Something was a bit off here. FunkyBrewster (450), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Updated: Aug 1, 2009On tap at Guthrie’s in Chicago. Pours a golden orange color with a slightly creamy white head. Aroma is a newly opened dime bag, just straight up weed, I passed it around the table so all of the non craft beer drinkers could take a whiff of weed in a glass. It has some underlying caramel malts but mostly just fresh hop oils. Flavor starts with a piney hop kick that gives way to a slightly citric fruity character. Continues to ride that piney character again finally adding some sweet malts before a finish of dry bitterness. Medium body and an active carbonation. Interesting beer, not well balanced at all though. I love hops so it was enjoyable enough but for anyone who doesn’t like a big mouth and nose of weed and pine, its not gonna be a fun experience.
